I just got back to home after going on a cross country road trip, and my parents tell me that I NEED HELP! I told them that I had the time of my life on my trip and that I haven't felt this healthy since I was a kid. I asked my father if he would rather me be happy, which I am, or depressed and sad all the time. He told me, "I want you to be sad, because you are easier to deal with."
